Many thanks Reg and Trish for your interest in the Jones.
I have found pretty well of info through the census sheets on this Swyncombe family of farmers and am trying to find a definite link between Ernest Charles from Swyncombe and the Ernest Charles whom Sally, for whom I'm researching knows, to be her grandfather.   It seems once he married, there was little contact between him and his family.   We are 99.9% sure this is one and the same chap.   Sally would like to link up with cousins from Swyncombe in the hope that they can provide the missing bit of info which confirms the Ernests are one and the same.     

Sally's Ernest married aged 34 to a London girl and eventually lived in Cambridge, but died at 47 years.
Sally's hoping that someone will be able to say "Ah yes, Charlie went off and never came back" or something of the sort.     His wife was pregnant when they married.

Incidentally, Trish, Thomas was staying with his Churchill grandparents in 1881.

Thanks again for your thoughts,     Betty

Hello,    I am researching Ernest Charles Jones, b 1880, Pishill.  In 1891 He lived at Darkwood Farm, Park Corner but moved with his family to Cookley Farm before 1901 and was still there 1911.
His family were: William, father,   Farmer
                          Emily (nee Churchill)  mother
                           Thomas William 1879
                            Emmie 1882
                            James Edward   1882
                             Hannah Mary    1884
                             Frederick          1887
                             Arthur               1886
                             William Edward J   1890
                              Rose Mary          1890
There is little known about this side of the family as Ernest married at 34 and appeared to be "distanced" from his family from that point.   He was a Coachman and several of his siblings worked in service, possibly on the Swyncombe House estate.  After the 1914/18 war he moved to the Cambridge area.     I am hoping to find links with anyone else researching this family - a long shot probably.      Does anyone know the Cookley Green area and where this family might be buried?      Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.   
Thanks.

Your photo has made me smile so much  -  I love the look on the baby's face!   How sad to think one of these beautiful babies didn't live long - they look so bonny.   Hope someone can help you in your bid to perk the picture up a bit  - thanks again for making me smile on this dismal day. 

I know that a Charles Ernest Jones aged 34 was at the above camp in 1915 - his address was Remount Dept. HMS Army, 2 Hut, Latham Camp, Ormskirk, but I can find no record of him anywhere else.   He married in 1915 - Winifred Ethel Keeling - and was thought to have come from the Essex/London area, father being William Jones, farmer.

Does anyone know anything of this army area - I was told it was concerned with distributing horses to the armed forces - and where their records would be kept.    I keep trolling through the Ancestry records but have had no luck there.      Any help or info would be much appreciated.   Thanks.

Yes, thanks, I have and keep looking as I understand they are not yet complete.   No luck though.
